great thread... and in summary.!!!
Firstly have been trawling for this shit for days, finally i see some info thats usefull. How does 2257 affect UK webmaster with site hosted in holland? well judging from this thread not too badly, if 2257 is a us law then there is no probs right. Buy hangon almost all UK / european sites have a 2257 compliance note. So are they just covering their jacksies, just in case? Also if this site is merely a distributor of porn rather than the creator or publisher (the site allows amateurs to upload their own porn) then even better.
yes in 2257 is states: "the term "produces" means to produce, manufacture, or publish any book, magazine, periodical, film, video tape, computer generated image, digital image, or picture, or other similar matter and includes the duplication, reproduction, or reissuing of any such matter, but does not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted;"
See adultwork.co.uk for a perfect example of this. Are they legal? yes it would seem they are.
Any thoughts?
